Section Bal 206.07 - Subpoenas

(a) Subpoenas for the attendance of witnesses at or the production of evidence at hearings shall be issued upon the order of the commission or by a justice of the peace in accordance with RSA 665:11. A party requesting the commission to issue a subpoena shall attach a copy of the proposed subpoena to its motion. The motion shall be granted if the commission determines that issuing the subpoena will assist it in making its decision. If the motion is granted, the requesting party shall be responsible for the service of the subpoena and payment of any applicable witness fee and mileage expenses.

(b) The person to whom the subpoena is directed may, within 7 days after service of the subpoena, or before the date specified in the subpoena for compliance therewith, whichever is later, file a motion to quash or modify the subpoena. If the commission denies the motion to quash or modify, in whole or in part, the person to whom the subpoena is directed shall comply with the subpoena, or any modification thereof, within the balance of time prescribed in the subpoena, not considering the elapsed time between the filing of the motion to quash or modify and the service of the ruling thereon.

(c) A subpoena shall be served in the manner authorized for service of subpoenas in the New Hampshire superior court. The fact of service shall be written on the reverse of the original copy of the subpoena by the person making service. The original shall be immediately returned to the commission by the person making service.
